OVERVIEW
Extreme weather, shifting conditions, varied terrain, motion and rest – these are alpine realities. The Alpha is a highly versatile hardshell designed to handle them. GORE-TEX PRO Most Rugged reinforces high-wear areas, while ultralight, highly abrasion-resistant GORE-TEX with Hadron™ face fabric zones shed grams and improve breathability. The helmet-compatible StormHood™ delivers protection without impacting vision, a RECCO® reflector can aid search and rescue, and pit zippers add ventilation. Updated with proprietary Hadron™ LCP fabric zones in low-wear areas for reduced weight, improved breathability.
*WaterTight™ zippers are highly water resistant, but not waterproof. We do not recommend keeping items in your pockets that may be damaged by moisture*
